Answer 2

$\huge{HEY!!}$
_______________________________

▶We have to solve the expression 2x - 5 = 11

▶For solving this,

2x - 5 = 11

▶▶When we send 5 to another side, -5 will be changed to 5

2x = 11 + 5

2x = 16

▶▶When we send 2 on the another side, it will be divided

x = $\frac{16}{2}$
x = 8

✔✔So, among these following options, "c" will be correct.
